Abstract:
Web site operators, Internet users, and online service providers
are besieged by a growing array of abuses and threats. Spam
leads users to online scams and phishing Web pages, which
cyber-criminals use to steal users' financial data and passwords.
Other criminals use Web sites to spread malware, which can
steal personal data or take over users' computers into a botnet,
which can be used to send spam or mount cyber-attacks against
Web sites and other Internet services. Together, these abuses
undermine user trust, hamper e-commerce, and cost the Internet
community huge losses in money, service and support costs, and
time.
What should Web site operators and online service providers do
to protect themselves and their users? What are Internet
companies, organizations, and law enforcement doing (and not
doing) to combat these problems? And how can the
international Internet community work together on these
problems? The panel brings together representatives from the
chain of organizations that respond to Internet abuse problems,
and promises a lively, compelling, and relevant discussion.
